When led of the Spirit, the child of God must be as ready to wait as to go, as prepared to be silent as to speak.

Lewis Sperry Chafer

Der US-amerikanische Theologe und Evangelist Lewis Sperry Chafer (1871–1952) wirkte vor allem in Dallas, wo er das Dallas Theological Seminary mitbegründete und leitete. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch seine achtbändige „Systematic Theology“, mit der er den Dispensationalismus akademisch systematisierte und eine strikte Unterscheidung zwischen Israel und der Gemeinde lehrte. Seine Werke prägen bis heute dispensationalistische Zugänge zur Bibel, während sein Heiligungsverständnis und seine Gnadentheologie von reformierten Theologen wegen befürchteter antinomistischer Tendenzen kritisiert wurden.
